The team came back on Friday to draft two Buckeye players in the second round. Wide receiver Michael Thomas from Ohio State was drafted by New Orleans with 16th pick (47th overall) in the second round.

The Saints traded their third round pick (78th overall) and fourth round pick (112th overall) to move back up in the 2nd round. With the 61st overall pick, New Orleans drafted another Buckeye player. S Vonn Bell was selected with the 30th pick in the 2nd round.

On Saturday, New Orleans traded its fifth round selection (152nd overall) and its fifth-round pick from next year's draft to the Washington Redskins in order to move up and draft defensive tackle David Onyemata from the University of Manitoba with the 22nd pick (120th overall) in the fourth round.

The Saints' final pick of the 2016 draft was running back Daniel Lasco from California with the 16th (237th overall) selection in the seventh and final round of the draft.
